Monk resigns from Leeds

Garry Monk has left Leeds United

Garry Monk has resigned as Leeds manager just two days after Andrea Radrizzani completed his takeover of the club.

A statement from Leeds read: “We are shocked and disappointed by Garry’s decision but his resignation has been reluctantly accepted by chairman Andrea Radrizzani.

“Andrea made it clear to the media yesterday that his intention was to exercise the club’s option to extended the manager’s contract for another 12 months and immediately begin negotiations for a longer-term deal.”
